You're only one more sleep away And soon the waiting will be over Although I know you're on your way Well, I've never been more nervous I wish you didn't have to leave Everything you know behind But I really do believe By being cruel, I'm being kind And it's purely selfish But I need you here with me In the air and over water We're defying gravity And it's basic instinct That keeps me from my sleep I know that you need me But I need you selfishly Purely selfishly The panic rushes from my brain I'm always catastrophizing If any harm should come your way I'd only have myself to blame then Just your existence brings me fear Sometimes it fills my heart with dread Of course, you bring me so much joy Although it often goes unsaid 'Cause I'm distracted by the emptiness I have when you're not near The world stops turning, I can't concentrate I need to have you here And it's purely selfish But I need you here with me (ah ah ah ah) In the air and over water We're defining gravity And it's basic instinct That keeps me from my sleep I know that you need me But I need you selfishly And it's purely selfish But I need you here with me (ah ah ah ah) In the air and over water We're defining gravity Is a basic instinct That keeps me from my sleep I know that you need me But I need you selfishly Purely selfishly
